Petition: Tell Ryanair That Racism Doesn’t Fly

77-year-old Delsie Gayle was flying back from holiday with her daughter on Ryanair — the European low-cost airline when the passenger next to her began calling her names. He began complaining that he didn’t want to sit next to Gayle who he called an “ugly black bastard” and even threatened her with physical violence.

A video of the incident has since gone viral. “Put her to another seat!” the male passenger shouts, before turning to the woman. “I tell you this. If you don’t go to another seat, I’ll put you to another seat!” reported the Washington Post.

What is just as shocking as her treatment by this racist is how Ryanair decided to handle it. Instead of escorting the man off the plane, they actually forced the woman to move. This is not ok, and Ryanair needs to change its policy and make it clear that racists are not welcome on their planes. Sign this petition and demand the company change their policy and immediately remove racist aggressors from their flights and report them to the appropriate officials.
